- Organizers of the biennial Paris motor show are planning for a return next year.
- The show hasn’t been held in four years, but is now planned for October 17-23, 2022.
- This time around the plan is to partner with the Equip Auto trade show.
The Paris motor show will return in 2022 after a four-year break, organizers say, partnering with the Equip Auto trade show to form a new show called Paris Automotive Week. The show was held on alternate years from the Frankfurt show. Paris last held a show in 2018 where debuts included the likes of the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Kia Niro EV, and facelifted Porsche Macan. The 2020 show was canceled due to COVID-19.
Event organizers say the event will run from October 17-23, partnering with the large Equip Auto trade show. The plan is to hold Paris Automotive Week in the Paris Expo venue at Porte de Versailles as well as at remote locations. Organizers also say the digital platform will be launched “over the next few weeks. It will offer automotive and transport multimedia content and allow French and international visitors to register and find all the information they need.”
Like the SEMA show in Vegas, only people who work in the automotive industry can attend both sections of the show. The Equip Auto element of the show will focus on “after sales and connected mobility services.”
Organizers didn’t say which automakers will be showing their stuff at the show but promise “a series of events, including inspiring talks and test drives.
“It will be a world premiere that brings together professionals and the general public, while also providing an opportunity for the automotive industry to share its vision for the future of automobiles and transport with journalists and visitors from France and worldwide,” organizers said.
